NBC ‘Green Week’: An Opinion
Posted by David Onda Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, NBC, ER, Heroes, My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, The Office, Editorial, Features,
Ok, I’m all for saving the world, cleaning up the air and preventing whatever horrible fate Al Gore has decided awaits us in the coming decades - but this NBC “Green Week” is absolutely awful. In a week that has seen this huge writer strike, it would seem to me that network television needs every spark it can possibly get. What did NBC deliver instead? The guy from Windtalkers (now on Law & Order: SVU) telling me to recycle a pizza box … before he almost gets blown up by the bomb inside.
Oh, but the tree-hugging horror doesn’t stop there. Follow me after the jump to take a look at some of the other cringe-inducing moments from “Green Week.”

Scranton, PA Welcomes ‘Office’ Fanatics
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, NBC, The Office,
How many other TV shows can garner enough interest to support a convention—let alone in Scranton, Pennsylvania? Fans of The Office rallied together over the weekend to celebrate the series and even a few Office stars joined in on the fun. Ed Helms, who plays Andy Bernard was on hand, saying, “We’re the Beatles in Scranton.” And he’s not too far off the mark, seeing as more than 3,000 people turned out for The Office party. The show has really put Scranton on the map—and this city of 75,000 threw a thrilling enough convention to grab fans from as far away as Australia and Ireland. And wouldn’t you know there was plenty of Office fun to be had, including Dunder Mifflin paraphernalia, a lookalike contest, and a performance by the Scrantones (not Scrantonicity, strangely enough). In addition to Helms, cast members Angela Kinsey, who plays Angela, and Kate Flannery (Meredith) were also at the big event. To top it off, there was an Office Olympics, complete with “Flonkerton,” where fans raced with their feet in empty paper boxes, and yogurt lid medals for the winners.
